Chicago Bulls announcer Stacey King just made a huge statement about Derrick Rose potentially rivaling Michael Jordan's NBA legacy.

The one-time league MVP played eight injury-plagued years in Chicago. But when he was on, there were few better.

Rose will become the fifth player in Bulls history to get their jersey number retired, joining Jerry Sloan (No. 4), Bob Love (No. 10), Michael Jordan (No. 23) and Scottie Pippen (No. 33). Earlier this week, Rose told ESPN that he "would love" to have his jersey retired by the Bulls. Just days later, he learned that wish is already coming true.

The Spurs are currently 6-9 on the road with a point differential of 0, while the Bulls have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home.
